The Pavilion at Mont Albert Reserve will be demolished in early July and the new pavilion is due for completion in September 2014. Participation: 228 Players represented MACC during the season, Josh Devine represented the Club in 23 games , Paul Devine, Ben Galtieri, and Dan Bonnett all turned out in 22 games. Congratulations to Greg Cull and Mike Wilton on achieving 200 games and Ralph Hadden and David Noble on 100 games. We need to thank in particular the Canterbury Ashburton Surrey Hills and Balwyn Community Banks, Dick Menting (Chairman) and Nick Coker (Manager) for their generous support of our projects. Thanks go to the members of the committee, captains, coaches, team managers and volunteers for their efforts throughout the season but, in particular, our Club coach and 1 st XI Captain Bryan Vance. Wayne Harris who did a fantastic job as Veterans Coordinator Harvey Jones who co-ordinated getting 8 Junior teams on the field each week. Jimmy Wright, Kiel Johnsen, Eddie Plant and Greg Cull have taken on the role of social committee and organised a number of successful functions including the Ladies Lunch, the Trivia Night and the Reverse Draw as well as the Presentation Night which was a fitting climax of a great season. As always the workers crew of Jack Wright, Roger Smith and Peter Burchall with moral and bakery support from KR and Richard Harding have kept the pavilion in fantastic condition as well as keeping the canteen stocked and catering for the Umpires monthly meetings. The effort and time they put is amazing as well as the dedication week after week. MACC would not be the welcoming place it is without their commitment. Particular thanks to Peter and Kathleen Knox and their family for again opening their house and putting up with our visiting English players this year, this is a big commitment and is much appreciated by all at the Club.

Our first XI has had a fine year under the leadership of Bryan Vance. However, before continuing let me take a moment to recognise and thank our major sponsors, Bendigo Bank, The Harp of Erin, Bread Street and Maritime Estate; again we have been extremely fortunate to have their support – if you have an opportunity please support their businesses. In his first year as Captain/Coach Bryan performed extremely well both as Captain and as Batsmen/Bowler. His batting showed maturity along with class and ability to perform on the big occasions, bowling more this season produced the results we all knew he was capable of. Recognition of his leadership and personal performance came with Bryan’s naming as Captain of the ECA team of the year. He received great support from the whole club but in particular senior first XI players Paul Devine , Tim Wright, Tim Hargreaves and Travis Baker. Unfortunately (for the club at least) Bryan has taken up a position in Bendigo which will allow him to complete his much delayed qualifications. We wish him well for the future and hope it won’t be too long before he returns to the club. While elucubrating over this report I’ve been taken back again to Donvale Reserve in mid March and some great performances against our old foe Mulgrave: Jim Blakely 60, Bryan with 63 and Tim Wright 32 being the major contributors with the bat, but it was the bowlers who provided the greater highlights with Greg Cull’s performance 23/13/6/20 simply outstanding , Chris Jackson’s (U21 Player of the year) 2/12 and Tim Hargreaves 2/43 making Mulgrave’s total of 117 insufficient to match our 226. Appointed Captain of the 2 nd XI, Greg took up the responsibility of leading his XI probably to the detriment of his own game.
